What would motivate those that do nothing to stand up and back your desire for licensure ? Why are those people in this business at all ? If they are already working in the field without licences...
This isn’t a personal attack Judy, I’ve been in this as long as you and believe in licensure too. What I’ve done and who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is to recognize that a different approach...
And so you have identified part of the problem but not the solution . As Edison was attributed with saying : “I have not failed , I know 10,000 ways that don’t work. “ on the next attempt he made the...
It wasn’t necessary for the greatest leaders of change in the optical industry to be opticians to control the direction of opticians.
It was only necessary for them to believe they could.
Would...
How many optician schools are there in the USA and of those how many teach refraction as a prerequisite ?
The poll “Should Opticians Refract “ is silly and needless . Any education of opticians should simply include refraction as a prerequisite. Why would it be polled ? It should just be taught....
Speak to this:
- who are the greatest leaders of change in this industry ?
- what efforts were made to understand how they accomplished their goal ?
those that want change should learn a few things :
- the efforts to change are unequal and less than the efforts to remain unchanged
- the present efforts to change don’t and never have worked ,...
That’s 21 years of ineffective, non-existent, leadership that’s been incapable of penetrating the apathy and other problems that permeate
the issues. IMHO.
If all you want is to dispense and if rules haven’t changed then work for an optometrist, they will have you dispensing within a week with no tuition fees, no exam fees , no life long yearly...
Which is why I wouldn't go to either school. You need to learn the skills the disrupters learned, therefore go where they went. Don't be defenseless.
[QUOTE=tmorse;563291]I don't think it appropriate to make a recommendation for a school that you have not personally attended.[/
The pathway to the public acquiring eyewear today has changed....
Neither.
Perhaps try :Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania
some of the most successful people in the optical business and in the world did not go to an optician program trade...
First you need to define “optician”. Many in my mind would not qualify for that title, never mind refracting.
Start over. Get rid of all existing boards. Replace all board members or directors with professional leadership charged with a mandate to accomplish and enforce licensure. Choose directors on their...
Having read this I’d say you were on the money.
The only thing I would add is that the regulatory bodies I’ve seen , bring no value to the table in the form of leadership or vision and yes...
Exactly ! They could even succeed without auto refraction if they’d follow through with the rest of your ideas. Well said.

The original company that purchased Revo from Lux , didn’t they then sell it off again saying it was not a growth driver , so they divested themselves of it ?

The revo.com website indicates they sell directly to consumers on line - why would a brick and mortar store want to support that attitude ?
The revo.com website currently says “ Lens replacements...
Scribe a straight line across two lenses, don’t use a blocker or lensometer. Attach the lens to the block by hand and eye according to the scribed line. If the lens is still off axis then you have...
I do not believe opticians should refract. They are not ready. They do not have the infrastructure in place.
Opticians primary objective should be to clean up their regulatory bodies first and...
Speaking , only of Canada, one question begs answering , is there even a need remaining for provincial regulatory colleges ? I’m very doubtful they serve a useful purpose.
In my opinion they...
There is no leadership or vision amongst opticians. The regulatory bodies I am familiar with once tried and made some in roads but even there, in my opinion they had no idea what they were up against...
